The Last Supper - Bye Bye Shaggs, its been nice knowing you!

Today I had my last supper and early birthday celebration. There was some debating about where we would go and everyone wanted to go to GPK a family pizza place (very nice) but I wanted my favourite Danny's Seafood Restaurant and you know what, I put my foot down and for once insisted we do what I wanted to do purely and simply because it was what I wanted and it was my day. Nice feeling too it was!

And it was yum! But you know what, glad I did it but I'm not sure I'm going to miss it!? NOTHING tastes as good as being skinny feels. I feel like my brain is in the zone and now my body has to catch up and I'm actually looking forward to Opti tomorrow. I'm all stocked up and ready to go, have a rough idea of what i'll be having and how and I'm dead excited! Oh to have a purpose in life!!!! The lady at the chemist knows about my plans and she made me promise I'll go in and see her and give her updates! I told her she probably wont recognise me! That positive thinking has definitely kicked in!

La Perouse (where Danny's is) was beautiful and we hung out on the rocks with the kids exploring the rock pools and we dreamt about what I would be wearing this time next year and how our lives would be different. I am looking at everything I eat and how I eat it and am conscious of how things will change but I just cant wait now. Thank God they got me in straight away. I'd be a mental case and would stress eat another 20kg on.

Things may be very different this time tomorrow when I'm feint and violent from starvation but until then bye bye old shaggs, its been nice knowing you!

There's a better pic to come!

3.5 weeks post op

6/3/09 and 9kg down. Still in my "uniform" but at least now its not a searing hot summers day. Jeans are a size smaller and getting a bit loose. Long way to go but so far so good!

Hellow jawline!

Yes, I may have lost my neck for a few years but I think I've found it again! This is my chin, jawline, neck and shoulders in all their glory. Dont care if camera is held about 30cm above my head or that my nose looks HUGE - I have definition and thats all that counts!

First week

First outing 3 days after op - I had lost about 7kgs here since the previous pic. There is alot of swelling around my belly still but I was feeling great and so excited about getting out! But I could barely stand straight and needed my hands on my hips to support me!

77kgs 2004

This is me at the weight I will be if I lose two thirds of my excess weight which is what the clinic told me today is what I can expect as the average patient. I was very happy this size and could shop in any shop and wear a bikini top it was the summer of Shaggs and about a day after I found out I was pregnant. I knew this was the last time I would be this size again for quite some time!

The Skinny Girl Inside

Here's me at 65kgs ten years ago when I met my husband and the last time I was within the healthy weight range. I came close about 4 years later but then I fell pregnant again. At the time I HATED this photo!
